Call it hereditary or call it training, but Carter seems to have picked up the gift of flattery from his amazing father. Lately he has been noticing if I dress up a bit. If so, he says, "Mommy, you look so pretty!"...
Yesterday we visited Grandma and Grandpa Brown (which Grandpa, to send you some recovery cheer, I thought you should know that he has been talking about you, the hospital and your knee with staples all day!). As we were leaving their house, my mom and grandma were walking back to the door, and didn't turn around to wave goodbye.
C: "Mommy, they're not hearing you. They are going inside the house without saying goodbye".
M: "Well, let's roll down the window and yell to them". (I roll down the window and yell, "Grandma, Mom, bye! Love you".
C: "LOVE YOU GRANDMA VEE AND GRAMMY. GRANDMA VEE, YOU LOOK SOOOOOO PRETTY!"
Today I put on some new pants, courtesy of Grandma herself (thanks again!)... Carter says, "OOOOh, cool new pants, Mom".
It's been a rough day with both boys. My fault entirely as I managed to clean the entire house neglecting them and literally not spending any one-on-one time with either of them.... after being frustrated and annoyed, I sit at dinner and Carter says, "I love you, Mommy. You are soooo pretty".
Sold.
